            Gotta be just good enough at your job for the company to not want to get rid of you, but just bad enough at your job that they want to move you into another position.

            You have to defeat the previous middle manager in Mortal Kombat! Then you must consume their brains to gain their departmental knowledge.

              That’s alright he doesn’t know anything. I literally sent him an email today and basically just told him what to do in it. He’s useless.

              I assume he does the paperwork or something because otherwise he has no point.

      If management takes risks and succeeds then they are geniuses that coordinated all success.

      If they take big enough risks and daily in great enough ways, while their employment may end they may even get a special payment to recognize their previous willingness to take risks with the employment of others!

    My boss recently told me pretty much this, but that he added we should develop the ideas “on our own time” as a work around to getting fired

      It’s called blackmail. Find out who your boss is fucking on the side (they all are, no exceptions) and what kind of economic shit they get into then when they fire you you fire them from a comfy life.

        Of all the shitty things managers and executives do that we could point at… why would you say they’re all cheaters “no exceptions”?

        Actually quite a lot of them don’t cheat because they have no lives outside of the office.

        They literally lived to be a third level night manager of a carpet store or something. I bet they go to dinner parties and talk about it.

    That sounds like a great way to get a culture of extreme risk aversion.
